All that water
Crushing down
It doesn’t look heavy
Or feel it
As you swim through
But the further down you go
The greater the weight
Until the force becomes lethal
Time is like that too
Where we have come from
An unimaginable
Burden
When it is recalled
That this moment of your life
By comparison
Is that ant you trod on
Sightless
And unaware
Seconds ago
*we are born and die within a tiny segment of this universe
And some spend the entire time in turmoil
Outraged at events and people
That will also be swept up and away
Taken
By the relentless wave of time
Why not instead
Relax and enjoy the swim?
